FESTIVE CAPRESE SALAD WREATH
This is not really a recipe, so rather use the picture as a guide! Use both sliced and whole tomatoes, and try to get different-sized types. I made this for our hot-weather Christmas lunch, but it would be perfect for any occasion. We get the mozzarella balls in a light brine and the pretty white balls look great with the tomatoes, but you could cut up any good-quality mozzarella. The pesto was a nice bright green, but by the time I took the picture it had darkened somewhat. Quantities are guesses: I had a lot of tomatoes and more or less "arranged" them to taste. A large white round platter would be best to use -- I could not find one in time, so used a pale green one.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the tomatoes.
- Slice the large ones neatly in thickish slices; do not peel.
- Slice some of the larger grape tomatoes in half and keep others whole.
- Arrange the slices of tomato and the different-sized tomatoes in a circle, preferably on a large white platter.
- Drain the mozzarella balls (preferably a large and a small size), and arrange to your taste between the tomatoes.
- Drizzle vinaigrette dressing over the tomatoes and mozzarella. (Alternatively, you can toss the prepared tomatoes and the mozzarella in a bowl with the dressing, and then arrange it around the platter).
- Place the pesto in the centre.
- Garnish with sprigs of fresh basil, or use fresh oregano, which is equally good.
- Put the sea salt flakes in a small bowl and ask guests to season their own salad.
